A fun, quirky, beach summer read by Twilight Times Books!
Daniella
is an architecture student living with her narcissistic artist
boyfriend in San Juan. Abandoned by her father at an early age, Daniella
always falls for the ‘wrong’ type of man. Her most enduring male
relationship so far has been with her cat.
Several
strange mysteries are threaded through Daniella’s everyday life: her
ex-husband, Ismael, has just opened an outlandish hotel for animal
lovers that has her distraught; Ismael’s wife, a rich woman Daniella
fondly refers to as ‘Lady Dracula’, has some gruesome ways to keep her
skin looking young; Daniella’s mother is founding a revolutionary,
feminist society called The Praying Mantises; the island’s national
forest is being depleted of hallucinogenic mushrooms; meanwhile, young
girls are disappearing and there’s a nut loose dressed as Zorro slashing
the rear ends of women who wear miniskirts.
Oppressed
by all these eccentric characters, Daniella feels herself falling into
an abyss. Then something terrible happens, making Daniella wake from her
stupor and take charge of her life.
